Import backup of an elder Version
0

Hello together,

I fear I know the answer, but I still ask the question:
Is there any way to import an backup from an lower Webcon Version?

It happened that a process has been overwritten by a version from another environment without saving the further developed version first.
I have a backup (export) of the further developed process, but in between we updated the Webcon Server from V25 to V26.

Kind regards

Hi Klaus
as far as I'm aware there is no such possibility, also i don't know of any tool that you could use to 'update' that packaged app to newer version (would be a nice one to have though).

If the difference is 1 major version then I would setup up a VM on 'trial' license (make sure to unzip that .bpe file, and look for specific version number in XML, so you will install correct one*).
Then just go with a single update to version you currently run in your environments and to the export.
